Service Delivery Strategy Deadlock

Gwinnett County and the Cities of Gwinnett did not reach SDS agreement on Wednesday, June 10, 2009. This was the last day of court ordered mediation. The next step is in the hands of a judge.

Whatever the outcome of the legal battle, be aware that your mayors and city councils fought for fair and equitable taxation for Gwinnett taxpayers who live within our corporate boundaries. This legal battle will put not one cent in the coffers of the cities, but if a fair and equitable method of taxation can be ordered by the judge, it will mean dollars in your taxpayer pockets.

Look for Gwinnett County to go forward with setting the tax millage rate in the near future since it is coming down to the deadline for doing so. Be vigilant as to the amount of any such levy.
